Preamble:
In a huge cafeteria, there is not even a stool, and all the students in it are eating standing up, and the appearance of bending over makes people feel very tired when they look at it!
How short of money is the school, and can't even afford a stool?
As a school that cultivates national talents, is it really going to go so far? Unexpectedly, the school responded like this, which really made netizens feel "outrageous"!
On June 29, 2024, someone posted a scene of eating in the cafeteria of a middle school in Zhumadian, and the students in the video were all standing and eating, and it seemed that they had been punished!
But the truth is that there are no stools in the cafeteria at all, and all the students eat standing up.
What's even more strange is that in order to prevent students from falling in love while eating, the school directly divides male and female areas, and male and female students need to eat in designated areas, and cannot eat together.
In other words, boys can only sit with boys, and girls can only sit with girls, which is reminiscent of a prison with strict control.
However, the prison cafeteria is a little better than here! At least there was a stool, and the prisoner could sit and eat. As you can see from the video, the height of the table is very high, which may be just the right height for a shorter student. However, for tall students, they need to eat half-bent over, which is very inconvenient when eating, and may fall on their clothes if they are not careful, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of eating.
Students are tired enough to study, and they have to eat half-bent over like this, which is also an invisible harm to the body in the long run.
When such a thing happened, the media also began to pay attention to it, and took the initiative to go to the school for interviews, wanting to know why the canteen was not equipped with stools?
The head of the school said that this was done for the health of the students.
Is standing eating for student health? Not only can reporters not understand it, but it is estimated that netizens cannot understand this practice either. However, the school also has its own considerations, in the long ago there were stools in the cafeteria, but some students will accidentally trip over the stools when they are in a hurry, causing danger.
What's more, eating standing will be faster than sitting up, which can save a lot of time for studying. As for the sharing of meals between men and women, it is for better management, and there is no such thing as preventing them from falling in love for the time being.
Although the school responded accordingly to the lack of stools, netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with the point of response, and even felt outrageous.
If it's unhealthy to sit and eat, the school staff will also remove the stools at home! Don't sit down to eat, just take a bowl for each meal, eat it by the sink, and wash it when you're done, which saves time.
In the name of management, in the name of "good for students", students are forcibly deprived of their right to make their own choices. Since there were tripping students on the previous stools, why not replace them with a batch of stools with a better design, other schools also have stools, but there are not so many tripping accidents.
In the final analysis, it is the school's own problem that is imposed on the students.
What exactly does the school think? I'm afraid it's not as simple as it says to journalists. Perhaps in the eyes of the school, students will waste a lot of time and delay their studies when they communicate during meals.
Therefore, they set up such standing eating, and divided the male and female areas to eat, so that everyone can use the meal time to communicate, so that everyone can focus on their studies.
If you don't feel comfortable standing in the cafeteria, everyone will eat faster and then go back to the classroom quickly. As soon as they enter the classroom, they are under the jurisdiction of the teacher, and they can let the students learn again!
Just like the hot comments of netizens, since I am afraid that students will trip, I will remove the stool. Are parents afraid that the teacher will hit the child, so they will remove the teacher?
Is the school afraid that the students' learning pressure will affect their health, so they can remove the school? Such a school only cares about its own selfishness and does not care about the health of its students, and it should really reflect on it.
Some netizens said that since stools will trip people, then remove all the stools in the school office and classroom! It is important to ensure that students are safe at all times, and not to favor one over the other.
In the final analysis, the school's meal distribution system is a forced requirement of the school, when have students been asked for their opinions? Could it be that studying for most of the day and going to eat will be more tiring, doesn't this indirectly affect the child's physical health?
Epilogue:
Although the school did not explicitly state that the purpose of sharing meals was to prevent early love, such behavior has already made students feel a certain amount of pressure.
In fact, puppy love is not terrible, what is terrible is the handling opinions of the school and parents.
Some children are just curious, and they have some different feelings between each other, which is not early love, but after the forcible intervention of the school and parents, it triggers the rebellious psychology of adolescence.
It can be said that removing stools from school cafeterias may not achieve the desired purpose and will make things worse.
Schools are the cradle of cultivating the pillars of the country, not prison cells, and the "good for the students" taken out of context will only become an excuse to escape responsibility.
